To travel from Ujjain Mahakal (Mahakaleshwar Temple) to Omkaleshwar (Omkaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple), which is located in the Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh, you can use the following travel options:

1. By Road (Car/Taxi)

  • Distance: Around 80–90 kilometers, depending on the route.
  • Travel Time: Approximately 2 to 2.5 hours by car.
  • Route: You can take the Ujjain - Indore Road (NH52) and then head towards Omkaleshwar.
    • Start from Ujjain, and take the road leading to Indore.
    • At a suitable junction, take the diversion to Omkaleshwar (well-marked roads).
    • Follow the signs to the Omkaleshwar temple.
  • Notes: You can hire a private taxi or use a self-driven car.

2. By Bus

  • Private Buses and State Transport (MPSRTC) buses are available between Ujjain and Omkaleshwar.
  • Travel Time: About 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on traffic and the bus type.
  • You can check with the local bus stand in Ujjain for specific timings and availability.

3. By Train (with a Transfer)

  • There isn't a direct train between Ujjain and Omkaleshwar, but you can take a train from Ujjain to Indore or Khandwa, and then continue the journey by road.
  • Option 1: Ujjain to Indore by train (approx. 1 hour), then take a taxi or bus to Omkaleshwar (about 90 km).
  • Option 2: Ujjain to Khandwa by train (approx. 2–2.5 hours), then hire a taxi or take a local bus to Omkaleshwar (around 50–60 km).

4. By Auto-Rickshaw (Short Distance)

If you're traveling alone or in a small group and prefer a short-distance option, you could hire an auto-rickshaw for the journey. However, this is not the most comfortable for longer distances like the Ujjain-Omkaleshwar route.

Key Points to Note:

  • The journey between Ujjain and Omkaleshwar is through rural roads, so it's a good idea to plan your trip during daylight hours.
  • Omkaleshwar is a small town, and there are many temples and sacred spots to visit, so you may want to set aside a few hours to explore after reaching.
